Produktbeschreibung

As Egypt retreats from its newly elected government and Syria moves from one crisis to another, this book's reflection on the Arab Spring could not be more timely. Monshipouri's account of the role of emotion, solidarity, and online activism is informed by several trips to the region that continue to this day. Modern technologies and social media, organization on the ground, and challenges to shaping a country's political future after conflict are all essential subjects discussed in this important book, told in an engaging and accessible narrative.
